Best Upgrade: Rear Sliding Window!

[Manhattan]

Okay, maybe not the best upgrade... but definitely up there. One of you guys suggested I swap the window while the body was stripped for paint - I owe you a beer(s)! Now that the bed has some steel on it and the exhaust is finished (and dumps to side/behind the rear wheel), I can finally open that window without sucking in exhaust. I was just driving - windows and wing windows open - but still not getting a lot of air... realized I'd closed the back window... slid it open... Wow. It really does allow a LOT more air to move through the cab.

Sliding windows are sweet on regular cab trucks (where you can reach it while driving).

… or if you sit so far back in the cab that window is like 8” behind your head

Where do you source the window from and how much $$$ ? Cheers.

The recommendation was a CR Laurence window. I found two basic options - CR Laurence for around $325 or an Ebay (Chinese) for $150+

I rolled the dice and bought a "no name" window off eBay for $165. It showed up double boxed. The box in the box was CR Laurence - and so was the window.

autoglass4you on eBay - https://www.ebay.com/usr/autoglass4you was the seller.
